The Politics of Disrespect

I am beginning to think that one of the side effects of Obamania is memory loss. The firestorm that has erupted after Congressman Joe Wilson's outburst during President Obama's Health care address to a joint session of congress. The disputed point made by Obama that seemed to spark Wilson's Ire was the issue of weather or not illegal immigrants would be covered by the public option under Obama's heath care plan. The President says they would not in which Wilson responded with " you Lie"! The actual truth is somewhere in the middle. While illegal aliens would be able to purchase any health insurance run by the Government, they won't be subsidized by the feds to do so. On the other hand, I don't know how in the world Obama thinks the Government will enforce it.This same Government has not been able to prevent prison inmates from receiving stimulus money. The Republicans introduced a bill that would require anyone seeking insurance under any government plan to prove citizenship and the Democrats voted it down.

While I believe the outburst was disrespectful to the President of the United States, the reaction to it as always is political. The liberal outrage about the disrespect to the "office of the presidency" is largely centered on the fact that the president who was disrespected is one that they like. Does one honestly think that these same liberal loons cared that George W. was continuously disrespected during his presidency? The office of the Presidency should be respected regardless of weather you like the individual that occupies it. However, the left is incapable of understanding this concept-unless again the venom is directed at their Messiah. How many of these charlatans on the left we outraged at the Shoe throwing incident? Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, himself called W. a liar. The respect of the office of the Presidency has been eroded over the past 20 years-Bill Clinton put a huge nail in that coffin with the help of an intern a Cuban cigar.

The Legend Of The Unarmed White Man (Revised)

Image
The August 2014 shooting death of unarmed black teen Mike Brown in St. Louis by a white police officer and the subsequent decision by the grand jury not to indict has brought unrest to American Streets. The protestors feel that police are shooting and killing mostly unarmed black men at alarming rates. Many also believe that police interaction amongst white's is all together different due to the benefits of "white privilege". "If that had of been a white man..." is a common refrain from blacks when speaking of a negative experience with a white police officer. The media plays an integral role in these perceptions by continuously assaulting us with images of black victims and white perpetrators. In light of the Brown incident and other controversial shootings this year, the adjective attached to these perceived victims is "unarmed". The term is a staple in the lexicon of the American media which h...

BP Crisis Brings Out Radical Left

Image
Once again the left, with the help of Jesse Jackson shows its ignorance of and hatred for capitalism. The BP crisis which began with the explosion of an offshore oil rig which resulted in a fire that killed 19 people. The pipe located one mile undersea began to spew oil into the gulf and has for over fifty days now. The Reverend has been for weeks calling for a boycott of BP. Now comes word that several BP stations have been vandalized. The fact that such vitriol and anger results from what was clearly a tragic accident is surely tragic in itself. Someone should explain to the reverend that oil companies exited the gas station business years ago. The stations are by and large owned by franchisees and independent operators who squeeze out razor thin margins on gasoline-hence the reason for the lottery tickets, potato chips and soft drinks that has become a staple of these often family owned businesses. To make matters worse, the Rev. Jackson stated that "the mom and pop stations a...

Blacks Only Field Trip Revealing

A Michigan elementary school Principal took group of 5th grade students on a field trip to hear a speech by an African American rocket scientist. The only problem: he only took the black students. This incident for this blogger has much larger revelations other than the obvious. This Principal is the prototypical example of the dangers of a left wing education. A huge problem among blacks specifically is their ability to practice discrimination and segregation while simultaneously preaching "equality" and "inclusion". Dicken Elementary School Mike Madison took a group on black students, part of a group known as the African American Lunch Bunch to hear a black rocket scientist speak. The fact that there is such a group at a such a racially diverse school is troubling. Needless to say, the outrage would be manic if a white organization existed and engaged in the same exclusion of black students. In the black left wing mind, discrimination and racism are acceptable ...
